I have about 800 sq. ft. to grow a garden in. I am going to use a
tiller to till it, if it matters. I plan on dividing the garden up
into four smaller square areas.

In each area, I want to plant the appropriate intercropping plants and
then rotate yearly.

What plants should I intercrop together? I have seen rotation
schedules, but what to plant together I can't find for a small garden
like this. I have looked, sorry couldn't find exactly what I was
looking for, sorry.

Or, is this area just too small to worry about it?

Thanks.

Given that you don't mention potatoes, I would divide this area into three
areas and rotate crops as follows. Area 1 - root crops ie beets,
carrots,parsnips etc. Area 2 - legumes ie beans peas and any aubergines
onions cucumbers tomatoes etc. -this area can have as much well rotted
manure as you like. Dig a trench, fill it with manure, put the soil back on
top and you have a hot bed these crops will love you for. Area 3 -
Brassicas - cabbages sprouts turnips radishes, broccoli etc. Enjoy.
